It may be beneath contempt but, at the same time, it deserves contempt.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 2, 2022

...fares best in its briskly-paced (and rather promising) opening stretch...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 17, 2021

Seagal gives us a fairly good Bruce Lee impression in a film that is more moronic than it should be.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 23, 2018

John Gray's The Glimmer Man is strictly for Steven Seagal fans (if there is such a species).

Although this slick Seagal action pic won't convert die-hard detractors, aficionados will note that he's both gained weight and lightened up.

Keenen Ivory Wayans is so much more interesting, lively, and fun than Seagal you wish that he were the star of the film.

The plot of The Glimmer Man involves not only the Family Man but Our Evil Secret Government, the Russian Mafia and Rich Powerful Politicians -- the three stooges of action cinema in the '90s.

Most of the action scenes occur in the dark and are so heavily edited, it's hard to know whose limbs and faces are being splintered by Cole.

All-in-all, what we have here is 'classic' Seagal. And that means, for anyone who isn't an admitted fan, an uninspired outing.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

It's ugly and unpleasant but you may find it intensely compelling, much like a visit to the oral surgeon.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

It's repetitive mayhem as usual.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A truly disgraceful outing that amounts to little more than an unbelievable Steven Seagal self-love fest.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

There's no shortage of action.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 1, 2000

Sadly, the surprisingly podgy Seagal spends far too much time contemplating and not enough time kicking Russian butt.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000
